The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth

Memory isn’t infinite, CPUs can’t process all integers, and Santa isn’t real

Wait, what? Need a spoiler tag.

What did Apple tell you when you asked? Did you think anyone here knows the answer?

Ada

Well, they were discovered in China, so it won’t take long, but they won’t tell anyone until it’s been spread to other countries.

The front fell off.

Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653

Thank you!

Thanks, this looks good! I like this as a reader, but I can’t see how to subscribe to a subreddit.

• What is the format of the rdx_subs.json file?
• Can I get my list of subreddits from my reddit profile?

Because they’re not Google.

It’s Apple and the supporters that have let this nonsense go on for so long that have failed.

On what date did Apple visit your kid’s school to encourage bullying?

This is a people problem, not a technology problem.

If it’s not bubbles, it’s the style of jeans, or where you come from, or which football team you support. Bullies will always find something to use.

This has been my experience of agile in multiple workplaces.

If anything goes wrong with the deploy script, such as failing tests, no harm will be done because the script exits upon the first error encountered.

How do you clean up? Once the deploy script is fixed, how do you know what’s been done and what needs redoing?

Have you considered ansible/puppet/chef/salt — environments dedicated to deployment and cleanup, with idempotency to allow for fixing and repeating the deployment, across multiple operating systems and versions?

I saw that too and thought “here we go again”, but in this case it seems SCO stands for Source Code Origin.

Maybe dilettante, maverick ?

In Australia, we get a stationery list at the beginning of each year. So many pens, pencils, a set of coloured pencils, this many lined exercise books, a ruler, erasers, an art book, a set of watercolour paint, etc. in some grades the kids (parents) leave these at home and the kid brings what they require when they run out. Other grades, the teacher takes them all and locks them in a cabinet, gives them out when required.

Some schools buy 47 (whatever) copies of Romeo and Juliet, Chemistry 1, To kill a mockingbird, Algebra and Geometry, etc, and loan them to the kids at the start of the year. You break it, you buy it. Other schools get you to buy your own books (they tell you which version of which books, and there are commercial bookstores that sell specifically to the school market), but have a school bookshop so you can sell it back at the end of the year, and buy next year’s books secondhand which another family sold. (Or buy new from bookstores mentioned above if there are no secondhand books available at the school bookstore).

The teachers still have to buy their own equipment: chalk, whiteboard markers, pens and pencils, but the stuff they buy is for their use. Some schools have laptops and smart whiteboards; these are provided by the school.

(My kids only went to public schools, I don’t know how private schools work).

In what context? Are you referring to Trade Secrets or Commercial-in-Confidence?

Moon, stars, depends how accurate they want to be.

eg: Go to bed at sunset; meet me at moonrise; festival starts when some constellation rises over the mountain.
